I went on my regular morning dog walk today and as I approached the local supermarket, I saw a conversation. A man approached a woman and was loud enough that I could hear him talking about grocery prices. I assumed he knew her. By the time I got closer, I realised...

Well, it’s been a long time since I posted anything on here. Things are good. We’re coming towards the end of the third lockdown period in England and I’ll say that this one has been difficult in different ways – it’s felt as if the virus...

It feels like the start of the end of lockdown. Things are opening up again, and rules are being relaxed, and even the most vulnerable people are being told they’ll be back to work by August. And so, lockdown is ending. Over the last few days, I’ve had...

In these (semi-regular) posts, I share five things. Loves, hates, ideas I’m pondering, places I’m supporting, whatever. This week is quarantine focused, since we’re in lockdown due to COVID19. Stay safe, guys! Here we go: THE RETURN TO SCHOOL I talked last week about...

What are we on, week 6 or 7?! Who knows any more. It’s definitely been a rollercoaster for us all. High emotions and uncertainty and boredom and a gradual adjustment to this temporary normal. We haven’t had *that* many plans cancelled so far… we had...
